Heather and family I am so sorry for your loss, I worked with Bob for close to 30 years And my memories of him of him will live forever in my heart

I am so very sorry for your loss… knowing you guys from church but also Coach Bob was amazing to Joshuah during little league soooo many years ago - praying for peace and healing

My prayers are with you and your family Heather. I'm so sorry for your loss.

Words cannot express how deep this hurt is. My prayers will be with you day and night. May you feel God's love surround you all during this time. Bob has always been a good person and will be missed by many.

I’m so sorry to hear of Bob’s passing.  I worked with Bob over 25 years ago and he was an amazing man.  I learned so much more than how to work on a press from Bob.  His love for his family and his faith were admirable and I always looked up to him.  Bob was a genuinely good person. Sending many prayers for his loved ones, I know that he will be deeply missed. 

Heather and family,

Praying for peace and comfort for you all. May God wrap you in his arms and comfort you.

I am so sorry for your loss. I did not know Bob but I prayed for him and your family. May God lay his hand on your shoulders to let you know that he is with you during this difficult time.

I am so sorry for your loss.  Bob was a good person and so full of love for his family and full of faith.  I will always cherish our talks that we would have, especially when we talked about the Eagles and Phillies.  I will always remember that laugh and smile that he had.  I know that God and Bob will be watching over you all.

God Bless You, Heather and Sons.

I'm so very sorry to hear about your beloved Bob's passing. Words can't express what you must be feeling. Thinking about you and the boys.

Heather and family as well as friends. I’m so very sorry to hear of Bob’s passing. I worked with Bob in the 90’s. He always had a smile on his face, an infectious laughter that made everyone join in. His willingness to work, figure problems out and his love for sports and skateboarding will never be forgotten. 

Heather, Jacob and Ethan.  We are saddened by the passing of your husband and dad.  We will continue to pray for the Lord to give you strength to walk through this season, and for his promises, that are true for Bob, to give you comfort.  Our congregation has been blessed to get to know Bob's parents, Bob and Elaine.  

In Christ.  Coventry Church

Heather and Family:

I'm so sorry to hear of Bob's passing. My heartfelt condolences go out to you and your family and everyone who knew Bob and loved him.

Bob will always be in my prayers

Heather, Ethan and Jacob, Bob and Elaine, Kim, Greg and Amy,  we are so saddened by the home going of Bob.  He always had a positive attitude and ready smile.  He and his cousin (our Son) Mike were best buddies for so many years.  They spent many adventurous hours together, hiking Mt Washington, skateboarding among other things.  Bob recently expressed fond memories of those times as we talked at Greg’s wedding.  Now the two are together in heaven.  We know Bob will be greatly missed.  We will continue to pray for you.  2 Corinthians 1:3+4.

Dear Heather, Jacob, Ethan and family,
We continue to ask God to wrap His comforting arms around you as you grieve. While we rejoice for Bob in his new home with Jesus, we grieve with you as you lean on the Lord for each day.
Dave, Nifer, Liam and Logan Metz

Heather and Family,

I am so sorry to hear about Bob’s passing. I worked with him for a couple of years at Oberthur, and every time I saw him, he had a smile on his face. He spoke very lovingly of his family and was very proud of all of you. My sincerest condolences to all of you at this time of sadness.

Barndt Family I worked with Bob for 30 years both inside and outside the press room at Idemia .  Through the years I always enjoyed and looked forward for the daily updates on the family activities. I will always keep the fond memory close to my heart. May you be comforted by Bob’s continued love and the knowledge that he is watching over you all from heaven.  May Bob rest in peace 

I’m so sorry for your loss. Bob was a great friend growing up and I have so many fun memories of us skateboarding. 

Heather, I was deeply saddened to hear of Bob's passing. Please accept my condolences to you and your family 🙏🙏. In my near 30 years at Idemia I knew Bob and most of the press man. He even gave me the nickname, Capt. Kev from the training we had for putting out a real fire. I will miss him.

May Robert be welcome with open arms at the Gates of Heaven.  Our sympathy to Heather, Jacob, Ethan, Jeanne, Joe and all the family.  Robert, in "family time a priority" and his "strong belief in Jesus" has truly left the world a better place.  His love and dedication to others will send ripples of the love making the world better in all of our futures and throughout eternity.  God be with the Barndt family with His peace and love at this time and always.

Plenty of TV sitcoms have gained success by being based on one’s childhood. Shows like the Wonder Years, Young Sheldon, and Everyone Hates Chris had gained viewership simply because some of the events were relatable to the viewer’s own childhood. These childhood experiences are what help to make what many people are today.

Most certainly, I am grateful for my mother’s desire to leave my birthplace in New Jersey in order for us as kids to have a yard that we could play in. It is what led us to this small neighborhood in this township known as East Fallowfield. And truly a yard to play in with neighbors to join in is what we had. In my childhood, a bond was developed with the neighbors. There were fond memories of neighbors coming together to play the various variations of tag, dodgeball, ghost in the graveyard, and capture the flag (just to name a few). In the absence of streetlights (which was the traditional way of knowing when it was time to go home), some of the parents in the neighborhood had call systems to notify their child it was time to go home. One parent used a cowbell, one a recorder, and one a whistle. As with any family, my family had certain rules in place. One of those rules were that we had to finish our homework or other labor before going out. WELL, one day I decided rather to get off the bus and go to the Barndt’s house to hang out with a friend than to go home. Over there they had this slinky, and they had the longest staircase for it. In addition, their mom made the best nestle quick (from the old school tin). This event took place in a time where we did not have the technology that we have today so there was not any cellphones or pagers. With that, while I was partaking of this sweet refreshment, a few houses over, my family grew concerned about my whereabouts.

Nevertheless, the vast land that we once all played in transcended into the land that we all grew old in. While we all began developing our own keen interest/hobbies, there was one that really honed on his skill and that was my friend’s older brother Bob. In my childhood eyes, Bob was the Evel Knievel just on a skateboard. His stunts and tricks were impressive. Long before I even heard of Tony Hawk, Bob Barndt was in my opinion “The Celebrity Skateboarder.” Soon, just as he once captured the flag, Bob captured the heart of another person in the neighborhood (Heather).
Life and health issues may have tagged my childhood neighbor/friend’s big brother with challenges. Yet much like one palms a ball, Bob palmed his strength from his Christian foundation. He embarked the various ramps of life with a smile and hearty laugh. It was evident in each video/picture throughout the years that I saw that Bob enjoyed his family.

Although I regret not being able to be there to join physically in the celebration of Bob’s life, Mr.& Mrs. Barndt and entire Barndt family please know that you are in my prayers. Unlike, my incident as a child, you as a family do not have to question the whereabouts of your loved one. May you find the sweet refreshment in knowing that Bob was given a break from all the labor and is safe and at rest. As he now may be free of pain, his physical absence indeed may be a long staircase to travel. Yet it is my prayer that you will be given the strength and comfort to handle it just like that slinky…step by step. All hope is not lost. In the land of East Fallowfield, there may have been different instruments used to signify our time as kids to move. Yet on that great day, we as the kids of the Heavenly Father, will hear the sound of the trumpets indicating that it is time to move to our new home in the land where we’ll never grow old. Continued prayers and love to you all from Brodie & Johnnie Mathis and Family

My husband Bruce and I miss Bob. We have enjoyed being neighbors with Bob and Heather since 2003 when we moved into a house across the street from them in Parkesburg. We enjoyed seeing Bob and Heather raise Jake and Ethan over the years. We saw them riding with Bob on his skateboard when they were small and wearing their baseball uniforms as they grew up. 
We have appreciated Bob’s friendly nature and his jovial laugh. Bob taught our son to skateboard when he was a young teen.  
We are very glad to have had the opportunity and pleasure of knowing Bob and we miss him but are comforted to know that he was a believer in Jesus Christ and that we will see him again some day. 

I am so sad to hear about Bob's passing. I worked with him for only a short time, but he was always a bright light in the office and was fun and great to be around..... He will definately be very missed at Idemia. I am sorry I missed his celebration of life service..... Bob was a fighter and he was trying his very best. Its so sad this happened and he was taken much too young. My prayers will be with Bob's family....stay strong.
